GREAT LENIENCEY
SHOWN THE RIOTERS
Efforts of Government to Pre
vent Further Political Dis
cord Crisis Ap
proaching. (By Associated Press.)
Petrograd, Tuesday, July 17 (De
layed). By an agreement between
the soldiers' and workmen's deputies
and the remaining members of the
cabinet, the question of replacing the
retiring ministers, as well as all ques
tions of policy, has. been held in abey
ance pending the suppression of the
Bolskeviki element which for 36 hours
has kept the city in a turmoil. Events
since noon today serve somewhat to
clear up the anomalous situation
growing out of the apparent reluc
tance of the government to mobilize
its forces to quell the turbulent minor
ity and radical elements. The gov
ernment evidently considered it un
wise for the safety of the city to op
pose them with violent methods until
it is absolutely necessary.
The government adopted the same
course with: respect to the Socialist
Lenine some weks ago, realizing that
the movement had little , sympathy
with a majority of the population and
decided it better not to martyrize the
Maximalist faction or to run ,he risk
of precipitating a serious clash with
the possibility of far-reachirig conse
quences. '
There is little doubt that the gov
ernment has enough loyal support
easily to suppress an uprising. There
were, already signs tonight that pres
sure willb.e exerted. The Prebyjen
sky regimfciit, which is known to be
faithful to, the government, made its
appearance on the street and although
no clash occurred, it stood in appar-
l ent readiness, to. fight 4f , necessary. J&1
